A Wonderful and Memorable Evening for Piano-lovers.

Those
who know Paul Lewis from his Proms appearances or even by reputation were
expecting something special at the Sheldonian last night when he gave an
all-Schubert recital. They were not disappointed.
Lewis’s playing was
exciting, powerful and polished to a diamond sparkle. It held the audience
enthralled throughout. I have rarely heard a more authoritative interpretation
of Schubert than this. Lewis, who studied under Alfred Brendel, performed with a
classical poise and with a certain degree of restraint.
